Strength:
20 Minute Running Clock:
-5 Minutes to hit 1RM Snatch
-5 Minutes to hit 2RM Back Squat
-5 Minutes to hit 3RM Push Press
-5 Minutes to hit 5RM Deadlift
Snatch: 115/135/155/175(f)/175(f)/175
Back Squat: 225/275/295/305x1 (failed second rep)
Push Press: 95/115/145/165
Deadlift: 225/315/385
I felt quick on the snatches today. Was only 5# short of a PR. I think with a longer timeframe I could have hit a new PR. Back squats were rough....push presses felt strong but ran out of time for additional sets. Deadlifts were brutal.
Conditioning:
5 RFT:
-5 Power Cleans @ 205#
-10 Burpee Pullups to a 1' Target
13:22.
The high target on the burpee pullups taxed me. Wasn't able to come out of the burpee and go right into my jump. My motor is weak right now.
Strength Training and Conditioning for "The Skinny Guy"
I'm 6 feet tall, 180lbs (maybe after Thanksgiving dinner), and I have trouble filling out the shoulders in a "smedium" t-shirt. But that doesn't mean I can't be strong. Don't be confused: this blog is not about how a hard gainer can pack on the pounds. It's unhealthy to put on useless weight, and quite frankly, I haven't figured out how to do it. This is quite simply a detailed account of how I train to be strong, even though I'm built like a 6th grader.
